Farnham Castle in Farnham, Surrey, can host weddings, receptions, company dinners and meetings. The Great Hall seats 230 guests for a dinner and holds up to 350 for evening dancing. The castle sits on Castle Street, close to the M3, M25 and A3, with secure parking on site.
Seminars and company events
The castle sells meeting and conference space on an exclusive basis, which means your group is not sharing the building with another booking. The official site describes these rooms as versatile and gives no seat counts, so ask for layouts and capacities for each room when you send your request. For a company dinner or an awards evening, the Great Hall is the main room. A drinks reception can run on the Great Lawn before dinner, with the castle as the backdrop.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the most developed part of the offer. The castle lists four ceremony locations in the grounds and two on-site chapels, so a couple can choose between a civil ceremony and a chapel service. The East Lawn is used for civil ceremonies. Three formats are on sale: an all-inclusive package for intimate weddings, a wedding weekend, and a dry hire option for couples who want to bring their own suppliers. Open evenings for couples are scheduled on November 11, 2026, December 7, 2026 and January 20, 2027.
Rooms and capacities
The Great Hall is the largest space: 230 seated for dinner, 350 for an evening party with dancing. The Great Lawn serves for receptions outdoors. The ceremony locations and the two chapels cover the vows. Meeting rooms are offered for conferences, but the site does not publish their sizes.
Accommodation
Guest rooms are available on site, including a suite named Guildford. The number of bedrooms is not published, so confirm it before you plan a residential seminar or a wedding weekend with all guests staying over.
Catering
Meals are prepared by the castle's own catering team. The cooking is modern British with local ingredients, led by head chef Simon Lloyd, and a curated wine list is available. Catering is part of the all-inclusive wedding package, while the dry hire option leaves the choice of suppliers to the couple.
